In February 2015, Alabama -- as has been the case more times than not this decade -- signed the top-ranked classin the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Since then, that class has dispersed faster than cars fly off the lot at coach Nick Saban's Mercedes-Benz dealership.

But that's what's disturbing about Saban and his "recruiting". They always lose a lot to transfers, only to keep reeling in top talent? I wish the NCAA would hammer that shithole once and for all.

Uga

Cornerback Juwuan Briscoe, a sophomore who started the first four games this year before losing his first-team spot.

Cornerback Rico McGraw, a sophomore who began the preseason as the first-team nickel back, then lost his starting spot two days before the season opener.

Receiver Shaquery Wilson, a sophomore who has not played this season.

In addition, sophomore safety Kirby Choates, who has been dealing with academics issue, will be mulling whether to return to the team, according too Smart.

And uga just lost a big time recruit to Bama. Jayson Jones. Uga wouldn't allow him to commit unless he camped there. He didn't know that and was on his way to IMG Academy. So he commited to Bama and now holds a grudge toward uga. He's a '20 kid and is already 6'5" 322.

Yes, except in cases where the Coach gets caught like Freeze, top programs are always going to lose more kids to transfer as high rated prospects find themselves playing 3rd or 4th string. Unfortunately, this means that they can continually sign 25 kids with 10-15 never being anything other than deep back-ups rather than being 1st teams at another location.

The Rich usually get Richer, while the Poor remain Poor, if not poorer. This has been true for every aspect of just about every historical society.

Alabama is always clearing roster space. They just lost OL Dallas Warmack (brother of former star OL Chance): Warmack was a 4-star prospect and the No. 10 guard in the class of 2015. He's expected to transfer to Oregon to play for his old OL coach, Mario Cristobal.

Veteran redshirt sophomore center Brandon Kennedy will become a graduate transfer, according to a report by AL.com’s Matt Zenitz. The 6-foot-3, 305-pound center is from Wetumpka, Alabama, and he missed a portion of last season due to a leg injury.

Kennedy was rated a 4-star prospect, and he ranked as the nation’s No. 19 overall OG and the state’s No. 10 overall prospect exiting high school in the class of 2015, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. He’ll have two years to play at another program following his transfer.

Geez. Their minor league system us working wonders over there. We'd kill for a kid tgat good.

Yeah I saw that. It's a shame. Saban created this minor league system and now he wants full control of ALL!!

Especially the way he runs off kids who underperform (to clear roster space for more scholarships).

I get it w/ not wanting kids to go to a team you play (or might play) though. I think that's why we didn't see Burrow's name come up w/ Nebraska (after he announced his transfer - heard his name w/ Nebraska plenty before he announced). And the NCAA transfer rules state that the player has to be released in order to transfer, so Saban is within the rules. It's just very hypocritical coming from him, after he's shown plenty of players the door.
